Well that was a very impressive campaign, especially with the Apple Watch right on its heels, it raised even more money than the first Pebble watch too. I’m especially interested in seeing where their smartStraps initiative leads. I think that it’s a great idea to make the watch strap itself a more responsive and useful part of the device.

Another interest that’s starting to grow. Things like the lillypad and similar. Arduino stuff too to a degree.
Considering the Apple Watch
I’m somewhat sceptical about the new Apple Watch. Part of me wants one, but part of me thinks it’s going to be better to wait for the next iteration, just as with the iPhone and the iPad. The first version is ok, but it’s a starting block, something for Apple to build on.
Also, as I’ve backed the Pebble Time I think it’s best that I wait this out. See what comes next. Of course, the one thing that’ll change my mind is a really amazing app or use case for the device. I’m half expecting that to arrive much sooner than I’d like, but we’ll see.
Pebble SmartStraps
This is so clever. Such a great idea. I’m really impressed with Pebble and what they’re doing with their latest products. I can see this being very popular. I hope that some really interesting strap designs come out soon now that they’ve released the 3D print files for the design.
I can see all sorts of cool uses for this technology.
Pretty impressed with Pebble
I have to say I’m impressed with Pebble’s latest announcement. It looks pretty good and I think it’s going to give the Apple Watch a good run for its money. Of course the announcement steals the Apple Watch Thunder, and judging by their astonishing Kickstarter performance in one day, people are loving what Pebble have come up with.
Pebble countdown ends at 3pm today
so not too long to wait to see whatever it is that they’re going to announce. Of course the obvious choice is a colour screen pebble smartwatch. That could be nice.
I wonder if they’ll use Kickstarter again?
Something new coming from pebble
On the pebble web site they’ve got a big countdown timer. Something is coming. In less than 6 days. I’m intrigued. I’m so tempted to get another pebble smart watch, but I’m trying to be patient and see what the Apple Watch is all about until I decide. So will pebble’s news, whatever it is, tip my hand early? I guess it won’t be too long to find out.
I miss my pebble
I really do. I’m just sort of holding off until the Apple Watch arrives to see if that’s going to be good enough or better. I’m also interested in seeing what pebble can do to release a new updated version of pebble.
I like the idea of wearables and smartwatches, but so far they haven’t really done enough for me. I hope that’ll in change.
And so the Pebble app store arrives
It just makes me want another Pebble even worse than before, but I know I should wait a few months and see what, if anything, Apple come up with and if it’s worth getting excited about.
Regretting my decision over pebble
I’ve been without my pebble smartwatch for several weeks now. I decided to give it up after just not using it in ages. Of course, fairly quickly after giving it up Pebble announced version 2.0 of their firmware and some really cool new functionality. I can’t get it back, but now I really want a smartwatch again! And then, as if to give a final smack in the face, they bring out Pebble Steel.
So, I’m left wondering whether I should even consider getting another pebble, or wait around for the long rumoured iWatch from Apple. Probably the best thing to do is to wait right now, but that’s not as easy as it sounds either.
